Jumbo Pictures was founded by Jim Jinkins in 1987 to produce the episodes of Doug; the very first Nicktoon.
In 1996, Jinkins sold the company, and the rights to Doug with it, to The Walt Disney Company. The company continued operations until the cancellation of the Playhouse Disney cartoon series PB&J Otter in 2000. In 2001, Jinkins formed a new production company, Cartoon Pizza.

Famous quotes containing the words jumbo and/or pictures:
“I’m a priest, not a priestess.... “Priestess” implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world—it’s better than being invisible.”
—Carter Heyward (b. 1946)
“Museums are just a lot of lies, and the people who make art their business are mostly imposters.... We have infected the pictures in museums with all our stupidities, all our mistakes, all our poverty of spirit. We have turned them into petty and ridiculous things.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
